Rejected petition End the Production and Use of Plastic Bags in the UK.

Calling on the Government to put a stop to the production and use of plastic bags.
Taking the option of plastic bags away completely means people will have no choice but to use recyclable cardboard boxes or reusable shopping bags for their shopping.

More details

Plastic bags are the easier option when shopping but are completely unnecessary and one of the largest contributors to plastic waste.
This small change will make a massive difference to the planet and have very little or no impact on our daily lives, so surely it's a no-brainer?
It's time to take responsibility and remove the easy and unnecessary options which are damaging our planet and our wildlife.
